Hiring a car from King Khalid International Airport (RUH) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, will provide you with flexibility and convenience for exploring the city and its surrounding areas. Here's what you need to know:

What You Need to Know:

  1. Driving License: To drive in Saudi Arabia, you must have a valid Saudi driving license or an international driving permit (IDP). Check the specific requirements which can be viewed under the section `Important Information` for the hire car of your choice, including details about excess, insurance coverage and options to upgrade along with deposit and payment card information. Breakdown Assistance is automatically included.

  2. Traffic Regulations: Familiarize yourself with local traffic regulations. Saudi Arabia has strict traffic laws, and violations can result in fines.

  3. Navigation: Use navigation apps or GPS devices to navigate the city and its surroundings. Road signage can be primarily in Arabic, so having reliable navigation tools is important.

  4. Traffic Congestion: Riyadh experiences heavy traffic congestion, especially during peak hours. Plan your journeys accordingly to avoid rush hour.

  5. Roundabouts: Be cautious at roundabouts, as traffic can be hectic. In Saudi Arabia, drivers often use their car horns to communicate with other drivers.
